Mill Direct & Project Sourcing
Strategic Sourcing For Your Most Challenging Procurement Needs
Dover Tubular Alloys offers mill-direct and project sourcing that can save your company time and money. We source projects as small as 1MT to as large as 200MT in stainless steel, nickel alloys, and aluminum.
Dover Tubular Alloys now offers mill direct sourcing solutions for project bids, large quantity stock buys, and custom tubing sizes. Using our global procurement network, we’re able to obtain competitive pricing and delivery terms to create additional value for you and your customer. We also manage the process completely from end-to-end; allowing you to better prioritize your time and effort on other needs while we diligently manage yours.
Because our company is “trader agnostic” we are able to source projects through a variety of channels and are not limited to just one mill or one partner country when sourcing. Our company currently sources tube and pipe on a project basis for each of the “Big 5” Metal Service Centers and various regional distributors throughout the United States.
